I have a teacher. She is a young lady with a husband overseas. When she told us this at the beginning of the school year my thought was "That sucks, he shouldn't be there." but as the days passed on, this sympathetic emotion slowly faded into the background of other forgotten issues like Darfur, Poverty, & Global Warming that I had thought I cared about.
One day I started to think about the morality of wars and her comment had sprung back to life again. As I reflected on the past month of school, I realized that she always has great enthusiasm and energy when teaching. You'd almost think that her level of security is that of a small child. I was troubled. How on earth can she get up each morning with such an attitude knowing that her Husband may not return home? This possibility saddens greatly me. However, within it grew a deep respect for her and the amazing courage she posses. She inspires me. It taught me to appreciate the job that both of them do a lot more. Thank you all.
